J. J. Kelso

Toronto Daily Star, June 23 1930

I looked up J. J. Kelso in the 1930 Toronto city directory. Not only was he there: his name was in bold face. He was listed as Superintendent Children's Aid Branch, Parliament Buildings, and his home address was 96 Albany Avenue.

Searching in later directories revealed bad news. The last year that Mr. Kelso was listed at his post was 1934. The 1935 and 1937 directories list him at 96 Albany (as John J. Kelso), but with no occupation, and the 1938 directory lists his widow, Irene M. Kelso.

96 Albany Avenue still stands - it seems to be a nice enough house.
